Investigate voter infractions
Published 8:46 am Thursday, April 12, 2012
People do not see evidence of in properties in voting in Minnesota because papers like yours do not look into stories and print the information. Can you check with the state and find out how many same-day voter registration cards come back marked person unknown or address unknown?
I have heard that it is many thousands but would be interested in knowing the number. Can you follow up on interviews with election judges who report that people brought in several carloads of voters and vouched for them as residents? Even though the judges had their doubts the law says that if someone vouches for them it is legal for them to vote. Voting is a right but there are rules to follow and allowing ineligible people to vote cheapens the value of the votes of legal voters.
